    The following report is based on interviews with fishermen, private industry and Government officers, supplemented by visits to actual or potential rock lobster areas and an assessment of habitat by diving and by aerial survey. In 1969, the South Pacific Commission (SPC) and South Pacific Islands Fisheries Development Agency (SPIFDA) circulated a spiny lobster resource Survey questionnaire to assist in the assessment of the identity and the abundance of rock lobster in each Territory. Additional observations relative to other fisheries developments in the Pacific have also been included in this report. In accordance with specific requests for surveys by Territories, the total survey was divided into four tours and each tour carried out by the author commenced and terminated at Noumea, headquarters of the SPIFDA.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    Also available in:
    The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

    The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.
